Summary

Based on the comments in /etc/nsmb.conf.

Is this a mix up?

Isn't it normally the other way around: Local user settings overwrite the system-wide settings? Otherwise, why have the ones in the ~/.nsmb.conf in the first place? I don't know SMB that well, so I could be wrong here. Just wondering...

I am afraid this is what the documentation says:

sudo head -n 7 /etc/nsmb.conf
# $FreeBSD: releng/11.2/etc/nsmb.conf 263140 2014-03-14 02:58:48Z glebius $
#
# smbfs lookups configuration files in next order:
#       1. ~/.nsmbrc
#       2. /etc/nsmb.conf - if this file found it will
#          override values with same keys from user files.
#

I've got no idea why it is like this.

Hmm, OK. Their choice, so let's document it. ;-)
